There is something about you, something in your soul <br />something that seems to surround your fishing pole…. <br /> <br />You moved to the coast, now that’s no lie <br />And we had a hard time with that little goodbye <br />But no need for heartache, no need to console <br />You had your boat and your fishing pole. <br /> <br />You know everyday you go out to fish <br />it’s like a genie granting every little wish <br />every time that bobber goes out of control <br />we know you are happy with your fishing pole. <br /> <br />Now on birthdays it’s special out on the water <br />I hear if you’re there, they’ll jump for the slaughter <br />You’ll be piling them in like your lucks on a roll <br />Reeling them in with your fishing pole <br /> <br />So today of all days take heed and relax <br />Pack up a cooler with drinks and some snacks <br />put on your shoes and go take a stroll <br />Down to your boat with your fishing pole.<br /><br />Kathleen J.
